TWO BIG BRIDGES.
"SaCounty Court Asked to Build Them
Has Gone to investigate.
The county court is wrestling
ith the question of whether or not
to build two bridges in the south
; nd ot Benton. Big petitions are
in for both of them. One is wanted
' at Liverpool crossing of the Long
Tom, aud the other from the - main
land across a slough of the Willa
mette to Ingram Island. All the
members of the court left yesterday
morning to visit the spots where
Hhe bridges are wanted. They were
aprotrmanied bv Frank Miller of
Albanv. who is an expert with ref
erence to the cost and character of
bridges.
The bridge to connect Ingram
Island with the main land of Ben
ton has been sought for a long time.
It has been frequently petitioned
.for. Its construction was recom
mended at last month's session of
xne commissioners . cuun uy juuu
Whitaker, James. Bruce and Sam
uel Reader. The three men were
appointed viewers to report with
reference to a change of road to In
gram Island, and in their report
embodied a recommendation that
- . 1 T1...
the county furnish the lumber and
nails necessary for construction ? of
the bridge, citizens of the vicinity
having pledged to perform all labor
necessary to build the structure.
The bridge will require a span
ed to be necessary in the center of
the river as a support, to the span.
The estimated cost of material is
$800.
Until a year or two ago, there
las always been a bridge at Liver
pool crossing. When the Long
Tom got navigable, the bridge then
in service had to be torn down.
The order to do so came from the
Rovernment engineers at Portland
and had to be obeyed. According
ly, the bridge was demolished, and
-since that time the section of coun
try served by it, has had to ford
the roaring Long Tom or take a
roundabout trip through the coun
try to visit Monroe and other points.
For this bridge a petition, signed
by many of the prominent taxpay
ers and citizens in the south end of
the county has been ' presented to
mc cuuit. x qcic ire sikiicis iium
Irish Bend, from Monroe and 'from
t ti : r
Dusty.
A thing that makes the members
f the court tremble at thought
of building the bridge, is that it
must be a draw bridge. If any oth
er bridge was put up, and boats
snouia again setam up ana aown
the raging Long Tom, the structure
would have to be torn down. Only
a drawbridge could safely be built
there, for it is impossible to foretell
what day or what hour in coming
winters steamboats will again go
to Monroe. But little is known of
how much the proposed bridge will
cost but it will cost.

EVERYBODY TO GO.
Next Saturday Night Will be
Rush
for Tickets To. Give Play.
There will be no end of ' attrac
tions in Corvallis next week. -Besides
the various events of the Car
nival, a play is to be produced at
the Opera House by the local dra
matic company. The ' play select
ed is "My Friend from India,"
produced by the local company sev
eral years ago with immense suc
cess. There are many who be
lieve it to have been the most suc
cessful rendition ever made by the
local company, a belief doubtless
due to the rich fun and intensely
amusing situations with which the
play abounds. ' ? 1
"My Friend from " India," is a
farce comedy. It was written by a
newspaper man in New York City.
When completed, he showed it to
several managers and they all de
clined to produce it. Finally a
manager who had met with failure
in the presentation of another play
turned for a temporary arrangement
to "My Friend from India.". The
latter, in spite of is original re
ception, turned out to be a howling
success. It ran for several hun
dred successive nights in New
York City and almost as many
more in Chicago.. It is claimed by
some experts to be the best farce
comedy ever written,
Two influences contrive to. make
the play very funny the: lines are
full of wit and humor, and the sit
uations are intensely ludicrous.
Mr. Underholt made a fortune in
pork in Kansas City, and went to
New York to introduce his family
into high society. He has been
there three years when, the play
opens, and the effort . is still on.
The vein of humor thus opened at
the very beginning of the play
grows richer and richer with sit
uation and fun as one act succeeds
another. .
The parts have all been under re.
hearsal for several days, and there
is promise that the play will , be
most successfully produced. A big
house is sure to greet the "perform
ance which takes place Saturday
night of next week.
HORSE SALES.
The Demand Continues and Many Take
Advantage of Good Prices. ,
Wm. Frazier, the Portland horse
buyer, paid Corvallis another visit
Tuesday and Wednesday, - securing
five, horses here. From - Rufus
Skiptn he bought a heavy team;
from Frank Francisco he procured
a fine draught animal, and from
Jesse Wiley, he bought two drivers.
Yesterday morning - Mr. Wiley
shipped a fine black driving ; horse
to J, H. Skipton. This animal
was recently purchased by the ship'
per from Monroe Childers. Mr.
Skipton wanted this horse to match
a black he bought from Billy
Knotts a month ago, and it is said
they will make a magnificent team.
This week Mr. Wiley bought a
black driving horse from Joseph
Wright, a college student and when
in condition ftlwill be an attractive
animal. , Mr. Wiley has twelve
horses now, including draught and
driviug animals, which he will sell
when the required inducements are
offered.' Bentori county has re
ceived many thousands of dollars
from the sale of horses this year,
and there seems unlikely to be a
cessation of the demand. A Sea
attle buyer is expected here the first
of the week, if not today. . - -
